- * [TelecomNZ] uses a value of 0 for [VPI] and 100 for [VCI]. If your modem isn't configured for this , then it won't work yet, but bitstream access may change this. I think most sold in NZ now have this correctly set.. .  
-* You have to use [PPPoA] (which is also known as RFC 2364, and stands for PPP over [ATM]). PPPoE won't work . ''-- This refers to the protocol that operates from your modem to the ISP. If you have an external modem, you can use PPPoE from the modem to a linux machine, for example . The [3Com] HomeConnect works this way''  
+* [TelecomNZ] uses a value of 0 for [VPI] and 100 for [VCI], and PPPoA VCMUX encapsulation .  
+* Most connections between an ADSL router and the network, use [PPPoA] (which is also known as RFC 2364, and stands for PPP over [ATM]). Only newer TelstraClear connections are known to use PPPoE. ''Note: This refers to the protocol that operates from your modem to the ISP.  
+* If you are wanting to connect a linux box as a router off of PPPoA ADSL then you can use a protocol like PPTP or PPPoE to connect to the modem. The [3Com] HomeConnect works this way. However its not terribly straightforward, see [Half bridge with PPPoA]  
 * Log in as ''username@isp.co.nz'' through the ADSL network. 
-* To test an ADSL connection without an ISP, you can always use the username: ''user@jetstreamgames.co.nz'', with any password you would like.
